About

Step back in time at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, North America’s largest historical reconstruction. Wander through bustling 18th-century streets, interact with costumed interpreters, and explore the massive stone fortifications. For a truly immersive experience, you can even pre-book an opportunity to fire an authentic 1744 cannon or muskets, bringing history to life right in your hands.
